After a week full of confirmations it seemed like I had a week full of things making me question weather I was hearing the Lord or not. As my first deadline approaches only one month away I have only $200 in my account out of $3,500 needed. Yes I have $45 from the last yard sale to add towards that just wanted to have a larger amount before entering it in. I planned on doing another yard sale today but it started to rain and didn’t want anything to get damaged. Which is one of the things that made me wonder. Then on top of that I found out that I won’t be able to photograph a friends wedding that I thought was on October 4th and found out it was October 11th the first day of training camp. I was telling someone about my trip and their reaction was like you are going out of the country again, not in a wow I am excited for you but a your wasting your time kind of way. Then someones said that even if you don’t raise all the funds you still have a good heart and will be giving to a good cause. So I talked with my O squad about what was going on and they asked me to pray and find out is this an Attack or is this God Detouring you for another route.
I went and spent a good time praying and I gave everything over to God and I was sitting still waiting to hear from God. I asked him am I going before your timing? Are you giving me Detours or is this an Attack trying to keep me from doing what you have called me to do?
Then A great Peace came over me and this is what I got from God, “I am calling you to go and yes I know you don’t want to hurt your friend but you have always worried about others over yourself, this is your time to be who I have called you to be. I will provide for you because I have called you. Some of the people don’t understand the Call you have on your life because not everyone has a heart for the nations like you do. Everyone has their own journey and this is yours. Trust in me, and the calling I have placed in your life.”
As I was beginning to write this my friend tagged me that my first set of Shirts to sell have arrived, and then He said that we could share part of my announcement video at the ministry I am currently helping with in September. Also my Pastor is trying to find out if I will be able to get the church in November to set up another fundraiser.
I leave this with this Challenges will come and they may even make you question weather you are on the right path or not. I challenge you in that moment to get alone with God and wait on Him till you get an answer.
I put my Trust in God and I have great peace about going on the missions trip.
What is it that God is asking you to Trust Him with?
I do want to thank my O squad for praying for me in this time and their awesome words of wisdom in the moment of my doubt and dare I say my fit of break down, the world around us does not stop while we go after what God has for us. We all have choices and sometime many choices of how to spend each day. It our choice to follow God in what he wants for each of us in that day or just what looks fun, or what we want to do.
